The following formats are part of the Blu-ray Disc specification: BD-ROM – read-only format for distribution of HD movies, games, software, etc. BD-R – recordable format for HD video recording and PC data storage. BD-RE – rewritable format for HD video recording and PC data storage. There’s also plans for a BD/DVD hybrid format, which combines Blu-ray and DVD on the same disc so that it can be played in both Blu-ray players and DVD players.

How much data can you fit on a Blu-ray Disc? Blu-ray Discs can hold between 25-50GB. A single Blu-ray Disc layer will hold up to 25 GB, and a Blu-ray Disc can presently hold up to two layers. However, to make Blu-ray Disc technology extendable in the future, it also includes support for multi-layer discs that would allow storage capacity to increase to 100GB-200GB by adding more layers to a disc. How much video can you fit on a Blu-ray Disc? On a 50GB disc, over 9 hours of high-definition (HD) video can be stored. In standard-definition (SD) video, a 50GB disc will hold up to 23 hours. How quickly can you read/write Blu-ray Disc data? The only limiting speed factor for Blu-ray data reading and writing is the capacity of the hardware. Sinc
